This reflects inter alia the dependence of the Palestinian economy on a single market (Israel), which is also observed in the importance of each partner in the total trade of the other.

While these figures may be helpful in indicating how countries can harness services trade for development, developing countries remain particularly vulnerable to external shocks over which they have no control, given their over dependence on a limited number of service activities.

With China s trade to GDP ratio and exports to GDP ratio already exceeding 60 and 30 , respectively, the economy cannot continue to depend on external demand to sustain growth. Unfortunately, with a large export sector that employs scores of millions of workers, this dependence has become structural, which implies that to reduce China s trade dependency and trade surplus is much more than a matter of adjusting macroeconomic policy.

It's increased our dependence on foreign oil despite the gains in fuel efficiency.

More political education was needed to break the psychology and culture of dependence.

The economy remained weak, however, with dependence on a few commodities, including vanilla.

Competition in fund raising is obviously accentuated by the dependence on supplementary funding.

This world summit recognizes that our globe is one of shared dependence and shared opportunity.

But there is another explanation for China s excessive export dependence, one that has more to do with the country s poor political and economic institutions. Specifically, export dependence partly reflects the high degree of difficulty of doing business in China.

As oil prices rise, these countries dependence on the oil sector increases, despite all efforts to diversify their economies. To combat the impact of such dependence, they spend oil revenues on other sectors, leaving the oil sector with little investment.

Since many developing countries' principal source of earning was and would remain trade, an increase in ODA on its own, unaccompanied by greater access to markets for the products of the developing countries or elimination of trade distorting subsidies, would create an even greater dependence on external assistance in those countries receiving such aid, and greater poverty and inequality in the countries not receiving it.

So here the world is put out of focus, while our visual dependence is put into focus.

In particular, Chinese President Xi Jinping s position on North Korea s nuclear program is closer to America s than that of any of his predecessors.

Large surpluses turned into deficits for Japan in 1973 and 1979, and for Germany in 1974, 1975, 1979, and 1980. But this was due not to bilateral corrections in these countries trade relationships with the US, but mostly to their energy dependence and the decade s energy price shocks.

In general, there is greater dependence on external aid in the Gaza Strip than in the West Bank.

Parties recognized that poverty leads to high dependence on natural resources and the environment resulting in their overexploitation.

The world became much more inflationary, and quite a bit more protectionist. This did not, however, imply a return to the 1930 s, in large part because energy dependence forced industrial countries to maintain an open trade regime so that they could earn the money to pay for oil and gasoline.

There was a persisting dependence on United States trade and budget deficits to stimulate the global economy, a situation which raised concerns about the uneven distribution of demand among the industrialized nations and the possibility of new pressures on the dollar which might lead to greater exchange rate and financial instability.

With the technological revolution introducing phenomenal human achievements, our dependence on the peaceful uses of outer space is increasing.

Yet, services represent an important avenue for developing countries to diversify from commodity dependence and to generate development finance.

These conditions render the rural population vulnerable to the influence of drug trafficking and increase dependence on illicit crop production.

In many Parties (China India, Malawi, Zambia and others), there is high dependence on biomass energy, which contributes to deforestation.

At the same time, Europe s growing dependence on imported fossil fuels is a further hindrance to competitiveness. 160 In 2011, the EU s combined trade deficit was 150 billion ( 200 billion). But the combined oil import bill was more than double that 315 billion and the official figure for 2012 is expected to exceed 335 billion.

We know that we have to move from our fossil dependence very quickly into a low carbon economy in record time.

We need to kind of get down and do the gritty work of reducing our dependence upon this fuel and these molecules.

Rising average incomes should lead to increases in domestic savings, which should help to gradually reduce dependence on external concessionary aid flows.

India is certainly alarmed at the possibility of Iran developing nuclear weapons, not to mention its concern at the possible effects of Iran s Islamist fundamentalism on Kashmiri Muslims.
